A Spiral Quilt for Stefanie
page 6: figuring out the tentacles...
 |
The first thing I tried was printing an image of the center of the quilt, then overlaying that with vinyl so I could draw on it with a marker, and then erase it if I didn't get it right. |

I tried several different renditions; here's another one at right.

and it was a disaster; I didn't know how to replicate what I had on my little piece of paper to this gigantic thing on the wall! |
|

So I regrouped, and after trying a couple of other unsuccessful methods, came up with the idea of using masking tape as my "marker". It worked beautifully -- nice contrast, and it stayed where I put it!
So at left you see the piece on the wall with the 5 tentacles mapped out with masking tape. Now all I had to do was figure out how to make those thin sinuous shapes in cloth! |
